"I grew up hearing about Xavier's accomplishments, so I knew they must have been doing something right. It's not just a school, it's a community, and Xavier doesn't just focus on one's academics, but the person as a whole. I love it here because of the little kind gestures displayed on campus - holding the door for people, saying 'bless you' when someone sneezes, and greeting a classmate as they pass by - they're all things that make life at Xavier great." - Kendall King
